The wait is over! Your favourite hotEnd, the E3Dv6, is now available fully assembled.

Worried that the most crucial part of your printer, the hotEnd, will suffer if you put it together yourself? Avoid following the V6 hotEnd assembly guidelines and let us do it for you.

This V6 hotEnd is 'ready to go': the heater cartridge & thermistor carefully put together, inserted and tested, & the block has been pre-heat-tightened for you (with the V6 0.4mm brass nozzle), to E3D quality standards.

E3D-v6: Smaller - Easier - Higher Performance.

Hotends have the new heater block and thermistor cartridge introduced in June 2016.

Print the Widest Range of Materials Possible.

Building on E3D's signature high temperature performance that allows you to print high temperature materials E3D has now focussed on adding increased functionality with soft and flexible filaments. By providing a PTFE liner tube through the hotend that you can extend into your extruder this gives the ability to add the confinement and constraint needed to make excellent quality prints with flexible filaments like NinjaFlex, FlexPLA and FlexPolyester. This opens up a huge range of new opportunities for your printer.

(PTFE Liner only present in 1.75mm version - 3mm Bowden has partial lining - 3mm Direct has no lining)

This above cutaways show the internals of all three HotEnds. Left to Right: 1.75mm Universal, 3mm Direct, 3mm Bowden.

High Temperature Peformance.

With no PEEK or PTFE in hot regions of the E3D V6 HotEnd you can reach 300C with the supplied thermistor. By swapping a thermistor for a thermocouple (may require additional electronics) you can reach over 400C.

This not only allows you to print extremely high temperature materials like Polycarbonate and Nylons but also eliminates HotEnd meltdown failures associated with PEEK/PTFE designs. Although E3D's latest v6 hotend has a PTFE liner inside the hotend this liner is never subjected to high temperatures so there is no risk of damaging the liner through overheating.

The new HeaterBlock gives the fastest heat up times and the most responsive temperature control by clamping around the cartridge for maximum thermal contact. The new thermistor placement means you get the most accurate temperature readings with the fastest response. What this means for you the user, is that you can go from 20C to 200C in just 65 seconds, temperature control is responsive enough that you can keep the hotend within 0.5C of your set temperature or less with ease.

Not what I expected for quality

Posted by tim vukman on September 18, 2018

On the whole, there is nothing really wrong with these hot ends. I have purchased several. This was supposed to be tested and tightened when hot, so I was surprised that the heat block unscrewed itself while printing

Bump up your temperatures!

This hotend is pretty good, once you get to know it’s quirk.

I have to print PLA at around 220C and PETG at around 260C.

It prints well, it’s easy to install and comes with quality components.
